I think it’s clear by now that Colby Covington and Jorge Masvidal hate each other.
The American Top Team members continuously bad mouth each other any chance they get, so it’s fitting that the former UFC Interim Welterweight Champion threaten to drop “Street Judas” if they ever saw each other on the streets (Transcript courtesy of MMA Fighting):
“Me and Street Judas are 100 percent gonna fight before it’s all said and done,” Covington said. “We might fight a couple of times, because if I see him in the street, it’s gonna be a fade session. He’s gonna get put on the concrete, I’m gonna drop him on his f*ckin’ head and put stitches in the back of his head. It’s not gonna be nice, I promise you that.
“And he knows that, deep down inside he knows. But he’s willing to take a paycheck in the UFC to get his ass whupped because he knows the UFC is gonna pay his f*cking medical bills. Besides that, if we fight on the street, I’m gonna drop him on his f*cking head, and he’s never gonna be the same person again because he’s gonna be concussed, the concrete’s gonna mess with him. I’ll probably kick his teeth in, too, while I’m at it.”
Well, I guess that’s one way to get around Dan Lambert’s new Zero Tolerance Policy. Despite the fact that both men have been exchanging heated words back-and-forth for the past several years, there’s never been an attempt to put Masvidal and Covington inside the octagon to settle their differences.
Masvidal hasn’t responded to the latest comment from the brash fighter; however, “Gamebred” has stated in the past that they have avoided one another since their fallout:
“He sees me, security comes, coaches grab him, they put him away,” Masvidal stated in an interview with MMA Junkie. “They got me training in a separate room. He doesn’t say a word to me. I (expletive) with him all the time because I’m the type of guy that, if you say something right now, whenever I see you, I’m going to hold you to that.”
